Handling precautions
WARNING!
• Handle the Procelerant COM Express module and
carrier board with care. Failure to employ
adequate anti-static measures can cause partial
or complete device failure, performance
degradation, or reduced operating life.To avoid
electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to static-
sensitive components, it is strongly recommended
that you wear a grounded wrist strap or other
static-dissipating device when handling this
product. For further precautions and ESD
information, visit www.radisys.com/esd.
• The battery on the carrier board must be replaced
with the correct type of lithium cell battery (type
CR2032). Using any other battery may damage
the board.

Power supply
TheCE915GMwillworkwithanATX‐compliantpowersupplyorapowersupplythatiscompliant
withPICMG®COM.0COMExpressSpecificationRevision1.0.Whenselectingapowersupply,be
suretoconsiderthemaximumpower,ACinput,frequency,inputcurrent,andDCout
specificationsofthepowersupply.
Theoretically,theCE915GMrequiresatleast8A onthe+12Vpowerrail.Consideringthepower
consumptionofthecarrierboard,though,itisbesttoallowacertainamountofleewayonthe
twopowerrails.Forthisreason,thepowersupplyshouldberatedabove200 Wattswithatleast
12Aoutputonthe+12Vpowerrail.
AtypicalpowersupplyfortheCR100FlexATXcarrierboardmayhavethesespecifications:
Type:ATX
MaxPower:350W
ACinput:100–120VAC,200–240VAC
Frequency:50/60Hz
Inputcurrent:10A@115V,6A@230V
DCoutput:
Notes:
•ItisrecommendedthatyouuseanATXP4powersupplywitha24‐pincable,whichis
typicallylabeled“BTX.”A20‐pincablecanalsobeused,inwhichcaseyouwouldplugthe20‐
pincableinonthepin#1endofthecarrierboard’sATXpowersupplyconnectorandleave
thetwopairsofpinsontheotherendexposed.Noadapterisrequired.
•Whenmultiplefansareused,additionalamperageisrequired.Forexample,ifa4Uchassis
withtwofanshas2Asurgecurrentforeachfan,16Aisrequired(12A+2A+2A).
CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives
AUSBCD‐ROM/DVD‐ROMorIDECD‐ROM/DVD‐ROMdriveisusuallyrequiredforyoutoinstall
theoperatingsystemandothersoftware.
Hard disk
StandardcomputerIDEandSATAharddisks(60GB,80GB,120GB,etc.)canbeattachedtothe
carrierboard.TheCR100carrierboardcontainsoneIDEheaderandtwoSATAheaders.
Keyboard and mouse
TheCR100carrierboardsupportsastandardUSBkeyboardandUSBmouse,ratherthanaPS/2
keyboardormouse.

Video devices
DVI and VGA Monitors
TheCR100‐2DVIcarrierboardcontainstwoDVI‐IportsthatcomplywiththeDigitalVideo
Interface(DVI)specification.Dualindependentdisplayscanbeusedwiththeappropriatedrivers
installed.Alternatively,youcanattachasingleanalogVGAmonitortooneoftheDVI‐Iports.For
detailedinstructions,seeConnectinternaldevicesandsetjumpersonpage19.
Note:ConnectionofaVGAmonitorwithaDB15cableconnectortotheDVIportrequiresaVGA‐
to‐DVIadapter(seeVideoadapteronpage4).
TheCR100‐PCIE16carrierboardisdesignedtouseaPCIExpressgraphicscardinthePCIExpress
x16graphicsslotforhigh‐performancegraphicsacceleration.ThetwoDVI‐Iportsonthiscarrier
boarddonotsupportDVImonitors,butoneoftheportscanbeusedtoattachaVGAmonitor.
Fordetailedinstructions,seeConnectinternaldevicesandsetjumpersonpage19.
LVDS panel
OntheCR100carrierboard,alow‐voltagedifferentialsignaling(LVDS)interfaceallowsthe
connectionofoneLVDSflatpanel.Thisattachmenttypicallyrequiresacustomcable.Usethe
LVDSinterfacepinoutchartintheProcelerantCR100FlexATXCarrierBoardProductManualasa
guideforobtainingasuitablecable.
TV or other S-Video devices
UseastandardMiniDin4maleS‐VideocabletoconnectvideoequipmentorotherS‐Video
compatibledevices.
Ethernet cables
UsetheRJ45EthernetporttoconnecttoaLAN,router,orotherdeviceviaEthernetcable.For
10/100Base‐Tconnections,aCat5cableisrequired.A1000Base‐TconnectionrequiresaCat5E
cable.
Miscellaneous attachments
Additionalinterfaces,suchasanRS‐232port,USBports,frontpanelLEDs,IEEE1394b,and
backlightcontrol,maybeaddedtothechassis.ForconnectorlocationsontheCR100carrier
